Download IsoBuster Download – 5.4 | TechSpot

IsoBuster allows you to explore a CD’s file system while bypassing Windows. It is a CD/DVD and (Disk) image file data recovery tool that can read and extract files, tracks and sessions from CD-i, VCD, SVCD, CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA, DVD, DVCD and others.

It also supports the following image file formats: *.DAO, *.TAO, *.ISO, *.BIN, *.IMG, *.CIF, *.FCD, *.NRG, *.GCD, *.P01, *.C2D, *.CUE, *.CD and *.GI. It uses several sampling mechanisms to help you get the data, even if Windows is unable to. Is a very useful and user-friendly program.

Additional features include Mpg (*.dat) extraction, file system properties support, CDText support and much more. The vast majority of features available are free, but some advanced features such as UDF support are only available in a registered version.

• Better error handling and more retry mechanisms to help you get the data anyway.
• Using both generic and alternative ways to access the data, get the most out of your CD/DVD-ROM drive.
